UKCPVS Stakeholder Event 2024

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 12:02:13 GMT

The UK Cereal Pathogen Virulence Survey (UKCPVS) has monitored cereal rusts and mildews in the UK for over 50 years, detecting and warning industry and growers of new races of disease emerging on resistant varieties. Targeted at breeders, crop scientists and technical agronomists, the stakeholder event reports on the latest UKCPVS results and features additional pathology papers.

We’ve moved the event to January to help promote project results before disease pressure builds in cereal crops.

Managed by NIAB and funded by AHDB and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), UKCPVS receives infected cereal leaf samples from agronomists, trials officers and researchers.

From these samples, pathogen isolates are selected and tested to check their virulence against wheat and barley varieties.

The testing can detect new races of cereal pathogens capable of causing disease in previously resistant cereal varieties.
